Hsp47 also known as the heat shock protein 47 is a molecular chaperone with a molecular weight of approximately 47 kDa. It mainly resides in the endoplasmic reticulum and participates in collagen synthesis. Hsp47 binds specifically to unfolded procollagen chains ensures their proper folding and prevents premature aggregation. Due to its specialized function Hsp47 is highly expressed in collagen-producing cells like fibroblasts. Researchers commonly study this protein using techniques like Hsp47 ELISA to measure its expression or activity levels.
Hsp47 ensures the quality control of collagen within the secretory pathway. It does not form part of any large protein complexes but operates closely with collagen molecules. By stabilizing procollagen's triple-helix structure Hsp47 plays an important role in collagen biosynthesis. Dysfunctional collagen processes can arise without this protein's presence potentially leading to cellular stress or structural weaknesses within tissues rich in collagen.
Hsp47's activity integrates into the collagen synthesis and secretion pathways. This protein is related to other molecular chaperones such as Hsp70 that assist in maintaining protein homeostasis within the cell. Hsp47’s function links to fibrosis pathways because of its role in collagen maturation. In terms of fibrotic pathologies this involvement makes the chaperoning of procollagen a critical control point.
Disrupted Hsp47 function frequently associates with fibrotic conditions and osteogenesis imperfecta. Fibrosis results from excessive collagen deposition in which Hsp47 is deeply implicated. Additionally certain cancer types have shown altered Hsp47 expression correlating with increased cancer cell invasiveness due to extracellular matrix remodeling. Studies have noted interactions between Hsp47 and TGF-beta signaling in fibrotic tissues reinforcing its role in pathological collagen turnover.

ab109117, unpurified, at 1/100 dilution, staining Hsp47 in Human breast tissue by Immunohistochemistry.
Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with citrate buffer pH 6 before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
ab109117 was shown to recognize Hsp47 in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in Hsp47 knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and Hsp47 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab109117 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [mAbcam 9484] - Loading Control ab9484 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/1000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

SERPINH1 regulates EMT markers and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in GC. (A) Western blot analysis shows reduced N-cadherin and increased E-cadherin expression in SERPINH1-silenced SGC-7901 cells compared with controls. Conversely, SERPINH1-overexpressing MGC-803 cells show increased N-cadherin and reduced E-cadherin expression compared with the controls. (B) Western blot analysis shows increased levels of β-catenin, Wnt2, GSK-3β, p-GSK-3β, NF-κB p65, Snail1, Slug, and TWIST in the SERPINH1-overexpressing MGC-803 cells compared with the controls, whereas SERPINH1-silenced SGC-7901 cells show reduced levels of β-catenin, Wnt2, GSK-3β, p-GSK-3β, NF-κB p65, Snail1, Slug, and TWIST compared with the controls.
